Ⅱ.阅读理解
(2016辽宁实验中学高三上学期阶段测试，B)
Educating girls quite possibly outputs a higher rate of return than any other investment (投资) available in the developing world.Women's education may be an unusual field for economists, but raising women's contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social problem.And economics, with its emphasis on motivation, provides an explanation for why so many girls can't receive education.
Parents in lowincome countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody else's family and bear children.Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and are kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school — the prediction becomes selffulfilling, trapping women in a vicious circle (恶性循环) of lack of attention.
An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices.She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance.The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys, will be educated and healthy.The vicious circle is thus transformed into a good circle.
Few will disagree with it that educating women has great social benefits.But it has huge economic advantages as well.Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers.Wages rise by 10 to 20 per cent for each extra year of schooling.Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available investments, but they are just the beginning.Educating women also has an important influence on health practices, including family planning.
()1.The author argues that educating girls in developing countries is ________.
A．troublesome
B．rewarding
C．laborsaving
D．expensive
()2.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Girls will really make a less economic contribution to the family.
B．Girls will be capable of realizing their own dreams.
C．Girls will eventually receive the same education as boys.
D．Girls will be increasingly dissatisfied with their life at home.
()3.The author believes that a vicious circle can turn into a good one when ________.
A．women care more about education
B．girls can gain equal access to education
C．a family has fewer but healthier children
D．parents can afford their daughters' education
()4.The passage mainly discusses ________.
A．unequal treatment of boys and girls in developing countries
B．the potential earning power of welleducated women
C．the major contributions of educated women to society
D．the economic and social benefits of educating
women
【主旨大意】本文为议论文。题材为文化教育。文章主要论述在发展中国家女孩的教育是比其他任何投资回报率都高的一种投资形式。作者从教育、健康、家庭规划方面论述女孩教育的好处。
1．【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。由第一段的“Educating girls quite possibly outputs a higher rate of return than any other investment (投资) available in the developing world”可知答案。troublesome 意为“麻烦的，讨厌的”；rewarding意为“值得的，有回报的”；laborsaving意为“节省劳动的”。
2．【答案】A
【解析】细节推断题。从第二段第一句的“they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family.”可以得知：父母认为女孩不会为家庭做多大的经济贡献，于是不重视女孩的教育。所以，父母的这种预言(prediction)就会自然而然地实现(selffulfilling)。
3．【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。从第三段倒数第二句的“The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely…”可找到答案。
4．【答案】D
【解析】主旨大意题。根据首尾两段可知，作者论述的就是女孩的教育对经济和社会的益处。
